I had a little flower press when I was a child and loved it. The press was small, hexagon shaped and made from wood with nuts n bolts. A bit like Paul's description in the first post. It had cardboard with tracing paper in-between to put the flowers in.
Last year I pressed flowers for my granddaughter for a Christmas present so she'll know the types flowers that grow here in Spain.
This time I used big heavy books to press them, but I got thinking about making a type of flower press. Thanks for the reminder! 😄
